TUFFA Boots have come in as sponsor for the cob section at next week’s Dublin Horse Show where the first of the three classes to be judged by Britain’s Joli Smith and Ted Chalmers gets underway in Ring 1 early on Thursday afternoon.

Most won’t have a recorded pedigree but a few will and that latter group includes the Balmoral champion, Highview Forthriver, who is produced for Newtownards owner Hilary Gibson by Jamie Smyth and Ryan Anderson. The lightweight six-year-old grey Irish Sport Horse gelding is by the Irish Draught stallion King Alton.
